Hello,
Let's r the ration
We suppose x ≠0
x=r*(x-2)==>r=x/(x-2)
x+3=r*x==> (x+3)/x=x/(x-2)==>(x+3)(x-2)=x²
==>x²+3x-2x-6=x² ==>x-6=0==>x=6
x-2=6-4=4
x=6
x+3=6+3=9
6=4*3/2
9=6*3/2
Ration 3/2
First term: 4
It would be c because 12 x 5 is 60
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the roots factor the left side
x³ + 7x² + 12x = 0 ← factor out x from each term
x(x² + 7x + 12) = 0
x(x + 3)(x + 4) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x = 0
x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3
x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4
Roots are x = - 4, x = - 3, x = 0

They way I solved this is by making a list of all the possible answers for each person, based on one fact at a time that they give you. Then, you can start looking at multiple, and start ruling things out.

Step-by-step explanation:
The system would be:

And I attached the graph. The system will have 2 solution (The 2 intercepts between the curves)
